"Let's discuss the case." Xiaoxia was busy asking questions as soon as she got home.

She felt sour about Ruan Zhan's interest in Hong Haohao in the entertainment city, so she didn't say much along the way. But then she thought that the position between herself and Ruan Zhan was very vague. They were closer than friends, but also more distant than friends. Maybe she shouldn't be jealous. Besides, she was still not sure what her feelings for him were, and she was very confused. Was it love? Or is it just dependence. In this case, it’s better to work together to get the job done first.

As for what kind of job this was, she couldn't tell clearly. She just felt that she had to save her own life first, and then see if she could eliminate harm for the people.

"There is no need to be so formal, little white shirt." Wan Li joked, but after receiving a pair of hygienic eyeballs from Xiao Xia Fei, he quickly looked at Ruan Zhan.

"We were able to determine from his method of casting spells that it was the same person who controlled the zombies and attacked Xiaoxia with the dream killing technique." Ruan Zhan got straight to the point, "But that entertainment city looks very, very normal on the surface."

"Surface?" Wan Li also became serious.

"It is necessary to conceal the truth, understand?"

"What did you find?" Xiaoxia asked.

"I just found nothing." Ruan Zhan twitched the corner of his mouth, "However, the aura inside is very chaotic. How should I put it, it's like a newly moved home, with a vague sense of unfamiliarity, and it doesn't look good. It's smooth. Also, the stone bagua at the door seems to have broken a little accidentally. The opening is new and does not affect the whole. In fact, it destroys the entire pattern."

"You mean there's going to be trouble again in the entertainment city - good brothers?" Xiao Xia turned pale.

"Quite the opposite."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that the appearance is a gossip, but in fact it is not. Everyone knows what the gossip looks like, but few people have carefully studied the small differences in the gossip patterns, and the people who erected the stone tablet took advantage of this. The stone tablet suddenly It looks like gossip, but it actually contains hidden Yin prayers, so not only can it not ward off evil spirits, but it will force the passing souls to enter the house."

"This is the first time I have seen this kind of business competition." Wan Li scolded, "I heard that it was very prosperous in the past. Do you think there might be someone who is keen on money interests?"

"The motive is not important. What is suspicious is why he changed the settings there. If he is the person who used the dream killing technique last night, it can be explained." Ruan Zhan said.

"You just said it felt like a new move, which means that he may have guessed that we would investigate, so he changed the feng shui. However, I didn't see any changes inside!" Xiaoxia wondered.

"He can control the newly dead people to become zombies, and can activate the dream killing technique. Of course, such a high-level person can do things without being noticed." Ruan Zhan said, "In fact, when it comes to Feng Shui formations, as long as Randomly activating one or two key small objects can change the overall situation. It is very difficult to detect. If we had not had premonitions and goals beforehand, I would not have discovered anything."

"So the entertainment city may be the front desk of the flower club." Wan Li looked at Ruan Zhan.

Ruan Zhan nodded. But he always felt that something was wrong in his heart. The doubt and a trace of uneasiness floated in his heart, but he couldn't grasp it.

"It is not difficult to conclude that Huahui is related to the entertainment city. I believe the police will notice this after integrating various information. The problem lies in the details." Ruan Zhan frowned, "First, Is the Hua Club borrowing the shell of the entertainment city or is it a backstage figure? Secondly, is the Huahui just for making money and sex, or does it have some other purpose? Thirdly, who are the three mysterious brothers? Fourthly, why is that sacrifice The bride will turn into ashes, which is completely contrary to the laws of physics; fifthly, why are they keeping an eye on Xiaoxia, even though she has nothing to do with this case at all?"

"Don't forget Gu Yufang's secret room murder case, and what happened to those miracles she told Xiaoxia?" Wan Li added.

"That's very simple." Ruan Zhan said: "In fact, you can do it with an invisibility charm. Haven't you been invisible before?"

"You can hide from high-tech surveillance equipment by being invisible, and the entrance of Gu Yufang's house is the blind spot of the monitor, and nothing can be seen at all. Ah, it is very convenient to say that, just like that Damn ghosts are breaking the wall." Wan Li thought of the incident in the morgue of the public security hospital again, feeling a little helpless, "But there are no signs of damage to her door. Could it be that someone she knew well committed the crime and tricked her into opening it on her own? Door."

"Then there is no way to explain Shuo Yue and her romantic night." Ruan Zhan said: "There must be other ways to get in, such as wall penetration."

"That——"

"I can't." Ruan Zhan knew what Wan Li was going to ask, so he simply answered him directly, "The rest are the details of the murder and have nothing to do with us. Xiaoxia, can you make a copy of the entertainment city's registration information with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau? ?"

"Why do you want that? Did you see that - the donkey?" Xiaoxia was still a little scared when she thought of that nightmare.

Ruan Zhan nodded.

Yes, he saw the donkey with a human face. Unfortunately, before he could further explore the person, the illusion was shattered. The person must not have wanted him to guess the inner world reflected in the dream.

"However, if the boss behind the entertainment city is the mastermind of Huahui, he may not necessarily show up to deal with Xiaoxia in person, just like Monopoly Zhang Qun in Bloody Mary. Wouldn't he have hired many mages?" Wan Li explain.

"Let's take a look. The person who activated the Dream Killing Technique doesn't feel like he was hired." Ruan Zhan recalled the dream again carefully, trying to guess the various signals displayed in the dream, hoping to understand the... People's motives, but I can't think of them at the moment.

"Forget it, it's late today, let's go to bed first."

"Where are you going to sleep? Your room is occupied by Xiaoxia, and your warehouse is occupied by me. It seems that I have no choice but to compromise and sleep with you." Wan Li said.

"I'd rather sleep on the street."

"I don't care if you die!" Wan Li stood up, "Let's go, Xiaoxia, let him sleep looking at the stars and freeze him to death!"

Xiao Xia glanced at Ruan Zhan, stood up and walked towards the stairs, but turned back halfway, "Look at this." She took out the blackened amulet, "The last time I met a zombie, I changed It’s like this.”

"Okay, I will get it back to how it was before as soon as possible. And don't worry, even if the formation here is destroyed and has not been re-arranged, it will be fine as long as I am here, so sleep peacefully." He assured Xiao Xia looking slightly uneasy.

After Xiao Xia and Wan Li left, Ruan Zhan turned off all the lights and sat alone in the darkness. He always felt that this matter was not targeted at Xiao Xia, but Xiao Xia would be in great danger, which made him I can’t feel at ease even if I’m confused.

What does that dream mean? Black building, woman, stone mill, scarecrow, flesh and blood——

He still couldn't figure out the context of the incident. He felt like there was a mess in his chest and he couldn't grasp the clue. Wan Li said that when he met the zombies that day, he couldn't think at all and was confused when he was obviously concerned. Isn't he the same now?

He sat in silence for a while, then quietly walked upstairs and sneaked into Xiaoxia's room.

Perhaps she was too tired, Xiaoxia fell into a deep sleep, curled up in a ball with the quilt in her arms, just like a baby in its mother's womb. Ruan Zhan looked at her sleeping form in the moonlight and remembered that every time she read a book, she always read the ending first. She would only read books with a happy ending. From a psychological point of view, this clearly proves that she is the most insecure person, but she always gets involved in these weird things and always fights against injustice.

What a contradictory and confusing woman!

As Ruan Zhan thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a very gentle emotion in his heart, wanting to cover her under his wings and prevent her from getting hurt.

He walked to the window, sat down, and guarded it with peace of mind. His defensive formation here has not been restored yet. He is afraid that someone will use high-end spells to deal with Xiaoxia again, so he has no choice but to stay by her side personally.

Xiaxia, who was sleeping peacefully, did not know about all this. When she came downstairs to prepare for work the next morning, she saw Ruan Zhan cleaning glasses at the bar, as if he was getting ready for business.
